A fault plane seems to intersect just East of house, going N to S, and on North side of this fault seems to be some partly West North West of this house is stream junction. On eastern branch at this junction is Brassfield and Brassfield shows up on the southern side of the hill land between this junction stream junction or of the Farm the course the Clints extending including the Iron ore, continue west ward on N side of stream, and on again East bank of western forks. Here * Cathayron clint merges, Birdshy, *Lancetata with parallel sides. * Defile area, Iron ore, occur in Brassfield limestone. Along the Eastern side of this western fork the Brassfield dips southward and somewhat easterly so that it would go under the hill land on the South side of the stream south of the junction of the two forks. The Dayton limestone seems to form the top of the section as exposed along this ridge between the two forks. It is not known what lies N of the western forks, and this system fork might be due to fault lines. Look up. Return to road junction a little over 1 mile NNE from Andrews school. Go E. Probably Crab Orchard clay on North bottom. Then NE, probably, also Crab Orchard clay in North bottom and on south side of valley. Before reaching point where road turns about due west N, blue black shale is exposed on S side of road and also on N side of road further up hill. Here the black shale dips steeply West or that at road angle where road turns to right N there is Monroe with black shale westward, the plane of joint act dipping steeply west. Road turns straight north. Monroe Road turns ENE. Monroe at road corner. Stone on north side of road. Monroe in road very poorly exposed along road. 1 white east is little limestone all along the road. The road turns to right N again. East of this road are great areas covered with blue black shale also pretty well mixed with Bedford drift. Along the road southward is white clay, probably Clinton argy. Stone further N, as far as road angle, is blue's black shale.
